Problem Printing to Tape

tim9001 wrote on 1/22/2001, 10:20 PM
I need some help. I have VideoFactory installed
successfully, produced my first movie, figured out how to
get the Video Capture working, and I am proud of myself.

I can capture a clip, then print an un-edited clip straight
back to the camcorder and it will record successfully.

However, I cannot get the movie back to the tape. I get
the error:

"An error occurred while printing file to device"

"An invalid device was specified"

I tried to check to make sure the movie file was the same
format as the unedited capture file but I am not really
sure how to check.

I have a Canon Vistura, Pentium III, 256M if it matters.

Try rendering to the template "NTSC DV"- that should solve
your problems.

If its any condolation, I have the same problem as you with
the same error message. I have spent the good part of a day
trying to solve it but am unsucessful so far.

Changing the template to DV NTSC solved the problem. I can
now take render clips and put them back into the camcorder
successfully. Thanks for the help.
